Teledyne LeCroy current probes do not require the breaking of a
circuit or the insertion of a shunt to make accurate and reliable
current measurements. Based on a combination of Hall effect and
transformer technology, Teledyne LeCroy current probes are ideal for
making accurate AC, DC, and impulse current measurements.
Wide Range of Applications
Teledyne LeCroy current probes are available in a variety of models for a
wide range of applications. The full range of Teledyne LeCroy current probes
includes models with bandwidths up to 100 MHz, peak currents up to
700 A and sensitivities to 1 mA/div. Teledyne LeCroy current probes are often
used in applications such as the design and test of switching power supplies,
motor drives, electric vehicles, and uninterruptible power supplies.
High Sensitivity
The CP030A and CP031A provide a high sensitivity of 1 mA/div. This
allows for more precise low current measurements on Teledyne LeCroy
oscilloscopes. When used with HDO high denition oscilloscopes with
HD4096 technology, users will obtain highly accurate, low current waveforms
with unmatched 12-bit resolution for improved debug and analysis.
Fully Integrated
All Teledyne LeCroy current probes are powered through the Teledyne LeCroy
ProBus
®
connection and require no additional hardware. Along with providing
power, the ProBus connection allows the current probe and oscilloscope to
communicate, resulting in current waveforms automatically displayed on
screen in Amps, and calculated power traces scaled correctly in Watts. This
full integration also allows for Degauss and Autozero functions to be done
directly from the oscilloscope’s user interface.
Deskew Calibration Source
The DCS015 deskew calibration source has both voltage and current time-
aligned signals, which enables the precise deskew of voltage and current
probes. Most voltage probes along with the CP030, CP030A, CP031, and
CP031A are compatible with the DSC015.
